What breaks most in California homes
California's housing stock is old. Much of the state's owner-occupied housing was built before 1980, and a large share of senior homeowners have lived in the same house for 30 years or more, often with original plumbing, electrical panels and water heaters. Those are exactly the systems that fail without warning.
Repair labor in California is among the most expensive in the country. A water heater replacement that costs $1,200 elsewhere can run $2,500 or more in the Bay Area or Los Angeles, and an HVAC replacement can top $10,000. A home warranty's flat service fee matters more here than almost anywhere.
Coverage for California homeowners
Every Senior Home Warranties plan is available to California homeowners. The Platinum and Platinum Premier plans cover central heating, air conditioning, water heaters, plumbing and electrical. The Kitchen Plus plan covers refrigerators, ranges, dishwashers, washers, dryers and water heaters. See the full plan comparison.
Service is handled by licensed, pre-screened technicians in our nationwide network, dispatched locally. Claims are taken 24 hours a day by phone.
Age of the home or the equipment doesn't matter. If it works on the day the plan starts, it's covered for normal wear and tear.
